Breaking Open the Word

Angebote / Angebote:

Breaking Open the Word assists leaders of adult and teen Christian initiation, as well as Bible study groups, to "break open" and explore the word of God proclaimed in the Sunday liturgy. The Scripture readings in this book are taken directly from the texts use during the Mass, the Lectionary for Sunday Mass. After each reading, the pastoral commentary and reflection questions by biblical scholar Mary Katharine Deeley facilitate meditation and discussion, bringing Scripture alive and making it relevant to today. Breaking Open the Word can be used on its own or in combination with Liguori Publications' Journey of Faith RCIA program. Each reading is cross-referenced to a Journey of Faith lesson, enabling a Lectionary-based approach to catechesis for Christian initiation. Separate volumes of Breaking Open the Word are available for each year of the three-year liturgical cycle, and each includes additional materials for use during Lent and the Easter Triduum. Mary Katharine Deeley, MDiv, PhD, serves as the pastoral associate and director of Christ the Teacher Institute for the Sheil Catholic Center at Northwestern University"--
